A simpler way to install LMTX in macOS Catalina

Today I wanted to try LMTX and I have found these instructions in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS Rather than disabling SIP, I have proceeded as follows: 1. Download macOS's version of LMTX from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation 2. Unpack 3. cd context-osx-64 4. xattr -d com.apple.quarantine bin/mtxrun 5. sh ./install.sh Point 4 is important to avoid the dialog "mtxrun cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." Of course, it would be better if the binary were signed... Nicola

It’s nice to report that to the list, could you also add a note on the wiki page itself? That’s where people are most likely to look for this kind of information. Best, Arthur

I have update https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation accordingly. Nicola
